Jonathan Moyo riles war vets

War veterans have come out guns blazing against Higher Education minister Jonathan Moyo's derision of the Zimbabwe National Liberation War Veterans' Association (ZNLWVA) secretary-general Victor Matemadanda.

Moyo early this week, used his Twitter account to pour scorn on Matemadanda following the latter's interview with the Voice of America (VOA) radio station in which Matemadanda said President Robert Mugabe's government had lost its liberation moral compass.

ZNLWVA chairman Christopher Mutsvangwa alleged Moyo's anger was inspired by the fact that he had lost favour with Western embassies and wanted to carry favour with Zanu-PF.
